The Mine is now Underground!

Wow, it's been a while since I worked on anything majorly "game" related.  

Let's start with the obvious:
Bug Fixes

• Client computers can now aim up and down (Yay!)
• General fixes to player movement and network synchronization
• A game called "...Mine" is now underground. In a mine.

Known bugs

• Arrows don't always appear to be shot by the player when moving
• Player names still don't work, everyone still has a label above their head saying "Player"
• This game has not made my life any more fulfilling in any way shape or form.

General Improvements

• Arrow shot speed increased
• The map looks awesome now, ja?
• It has levels and all that lovely miney stuff.

...anyways...

This has been a long time coming, my day job has kept me all too busy to be able to even think about looking at this project for a while, so progress once coming back has been slow (COMMENT YOUR CODE! It helps when you come back to a project).  Being towards the end of the school year though, I was looking for something that the kids could play for their last lesson with me, and this came up. We didn't want them playing online shooters (which is sorta why I was making this in the first place), so this game seemed like a way to get them all playing something together.  After letting the kids analyze it at bit and deconstruct it a bit (and seeing their reaction after telling them this was made in the same program they'd been using), they told me I should continue development (mostly). 

So hopefully with holidays coming up soon I should be able to make a decent amount of progress, and maybe move the map away from such a blocky horribleness and further towards something that runs good and looks good.  

Sorry for the stream of consciousness style blog post, I'm in my 7th consecutive 6 day week, regularly pulling 13 hour days (crunch time is real, even for high schools) so I'm a bit worn out.  Enjoy the game though :)
